Oct 12 2008 - 3:00pm Oct 12 2008 - 4:30pm The Esoterics' director Eric Banks has studied ancient texts and singing practices of the Parsis, the Zoroastrians who have lived in the region around Bombay since the eighth century. Selecting texts from both of these sources, Eric has assembled a libretto for a seven-movement opera for a cappella voices - one that incorporates ancient Persian scripture and melodies to recount the origin of the universe in dramatic detail, acknowledge the cosmic balance between good and evil. This choral opera, The Seven Creations, will be premiered in Seattle before going on tour to north India. Info and tickets at: Holy Rosary Catholic Church |
